De Citadel

Almere

The design of the Citadel originates from the idea that the centre of a new city needs historical references without engaging in mere architectural historicism. De portzampark found inspiration in the medieval citadel and created a modern version consisting of four quadrants. Shops are located at ground level, topped by a rojecting concrete edge that refers to the geological layers of the earth below. Behind the edge there is a quiet residential area built around a large green field.
